With three weeks to go until Election Day, Donald J. Trump stands a reasonable chance of becoming the 47th President of the United States. Despite assassination attempts, impeachments, special counsels, felony convictions and hundreds of millions in civil penalties, most polls show his race against V.P. Kamala Harris is too close to call.
The first time he ran for president in 2016, he was coming off the last season of Celebrity Apprentice. I had a front row seat as a finalist on that final season and marveled at his audacity with his checkered past to seek the highest office in the land. Then, in the blink of an eye, he went from novice to formidable challenger to victorious over Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
As President he was a loyal friend, who allowed regular access. My resulting coverage gave him the benefit of most doubts. His presidency was underrated. Throughout his first big scandal in office, the 2017-2019 Mueller Investigation into allegations Trump conspired with Russia to undermine our political process, I stuck with him, deeply suspicious of constant efforts to undermine his Administration.
The last time President Trump and I spoke was Friday, November 13, 2020, when he called me at home. It was ten days after his narrow lost to Joe Biden. He was calling to get my take on the controversies surrounding the election, which appeared to have been decided by a handful of votes in several states. I asked him what he would do if the vote count remained against him. As I reported on Fox News that same morning, Friday the 13th, he told me he was a reasonable man and would do the right thing if that time came.
It never did. Instead, President Trump embarked on an increasingly menacing campaign to discredit the 2020 election. With a motley supporting cast of increasingly fringe characters, he careened from one bizarre theory to the next, offering no meaningful proof, that he had been robbed by the Democrats.
None exists. If you are a Republican, Donald Trump has made a liar of you. He has coaxed and intimidated tens of millions into pretending he was reelected in 2020, and that the election was stolen.
In furtherance of that Big Lie, on January 6, 2021, Trump incited and unleashed the violent attack on the center of democracy, the U.S. Capitol for which he was Impeached. As his followers trashed that sacred space, he was on the phone urging Vice President Mike Pence essentially to overturn the will of the American people. Pence refused to put Trump ahead of the Constitution. Trump stabbed the Constitution in the back.
Maybe you are inclined to vote for the former president anyway, because he says he will cut your taxes or build the border wall or pull out of NATO or put tariffs on China. However, you justify voting for Trump, adopting his big lie about the stolen election makes you a liar.
Better to admit he lost last time but that you don’t care because a Harris presidency would be a disaster, or you admire his defiance in the face of an assassin’s bullet. Just don’t pretend that he got robbed in 2020. That is a lie. Former President Trump is a sore loser who cannot be trusted to honor the Constitution. That is why I am voting for Kamala Harris to be our 47th President.
For someone so incredible, @taylorswift13 has a really terrible customer service team for her online merch sales. Still looking for resolution for the cardigan I ordered in October that shipped 12/4 and HAS NOT ARRIVED. This cannot be how they do business.
Another day, another day without getting info on my missing @taylorswift13 1989 cardigan for my daughter. I love Taylor but this customer service leaves something to be desired.
I ordered a @taylorswift13 1989 cardigan on 10/29 and ITS STILL NOT HERE. I got tracking on 12/4. I’ve reached out to customer service. It’s for my 13 year old daughter. Ugh. So disappointing.
Can anyone help or give advice from their experience?
So, I’m watching Station 19 all the way through for the first time and after watching all the @shondarhimes shows I have to say that the George Floyd episodes of this show were phenomenal. She’s a queen and she puts anyone in the middle of a moment and makes it feel real for them
These videos of the protesters in DC at the Capitol building are alarming. How will you explain your role in the 2020 election to your grandkids? People need to make sure they’re on the right side of history.
still can’t believe people are doing all this for a reality tv show businessman. like...... you really storming the capitol building for the “you’re fired” guy???? cindy it makes no sense
